It’s difficult to determine what constitutes an appropriate tip in any country. In Japan, if you leave a couple of coins on the table, the waiter is liable to chase after you to return your forgotten change. In New York, on the other hand, if you leave less than 15%, your reservation might not hold up next time. Asia, with its multiplicity of cultures and customs, is a particularly difficult terrain. To make your next trip a little easier, here’s a guide to tipping across the region:
HONG KONG
Tipping is de rigueur in this money-mad metropolis at all but the lowest establishments. Even bathrooms in posh hotels have little dishes for loose change.
Restaurants: Most places automatically add a 10% service charge to the bill, but the surcharge often ends up in the pocket of the owner, not the staff kitty. If the service is good, add another 10% to the bill, up to HK 100 if you’re in an especially nice restaurant.
Porters: HK $10 should do it at all but the nicest hotels where a crisp HK $ 20 bill may be more acceptable.
Taxis: Round up to the nearest dollar, although many drivers will do this on their own when making change.
MANILA
Tipping is common in Manila, and anything above 10% will gain you undying loyalty.
Restaurants: Even if a service charge is included, custom dictates adding another 5%— 10% to the bill.
Porters: Service in top hotels is good and should be rewarded with 20 pesos per bag.
Taxis: Most cabs are metered, and rounding up to the next five pesos is a good rule of thumb.
SEOUL
Tipping is not part of Korean culture, although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where a 10% service charge is often added.
Restaurants: If you’er at a Korean barbecue joint, there’s no need to add anything extra. But a sleek Italian restaurant may require a 10% contribution.
Porters: If you’re at a top-end hotel, international standards apply, so expect to give 500 —1,000 won per bag.
Taxis: Drivers don’t expect a tip, so unless you’re feeling remarkably generous, keep the change for yourself.
SINGAPORE
According to government mandate in the Lion City, tipping is a no-no. It’s basically outlawed at Changi Airport and officials encourage tourists not to add to the 10% service charge that many highend hotels add on to the bill.
Porters: Hotel staff are the one exception to the no-tipping rule. As a general guide, S $1 should be adequate for baggage-lugging service.
Taxis: Drivers don’t expect tipping, but they won’t refuse if you want to round up the fare to the next Singaporean dollar.
